a LAUNCHPAD for innovation
Alabama built the rockets that took man to the moon. Life-saving discoveries are being made in Alabama institutions. New patents are being filed across the state. So where do we go from here?
Alabama Launchpad, a program of the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama Foundation, presents the inaugural Innovation and Entrepreneurship Conference, a "Launchpad" to bring together and engage the various groups seeking to grow
Alabama's entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem.
Innovation and entrepreneurship is vital to Alabama's economic development efforts, and we must facilitate forward momentum for the development of these activities within the state.
Join us to examine activities already taking place inside the state, and be a part of the next step forward for Alabama.
